coo shedder Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Kenny Miller has been linked with Aberdeen, Dundee, his first club Hibernian, Motherwell and St Mirren.If Miller at 38 is classed as fit and good enough for top level football, why was Derek Lyle who is super fit not kept on? You can’t seriously compere Miller and Lyle as equals. One is super fit and a gifted player who will be welcomed at most Scottish premier league clubs. The other a journeyman who’s light is fading.Let’s see who Lyle signs for and how he performs! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 I've always seen Miller as more a work horse than a gifted player. A player you would like in your side but I wouldn't put much money on him in a one-on-one situation. He's done well to keep himself so fit at his age. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessieField Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 What changes are there (if any) in the loan system next season? I was under the impression loans were going to be more difficult to obtain? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think theres a danger in these discussions that too much emphasis is placed on social media. Its an important part of communicating with fans but its only one part of PR and, in terms of getting bums on seats and generating revenue, probably the least effective. Having a picture of a new signing isnt really going to achieve much, for example. PR is more than that, its about promoting the club and things happening at the club in a positive way in general across all forms of media as well as face to face. Thats more effective in getting people through the turnstyles and drives more spend on merchandise and sponsorship. You get money through social media for literally nothing more than adding a logo to a picture, Thorntons "sponsor" our social media and in return we bang there logo on social media posts, for the amount of time it takes to do it's well worth it. Whenever a player scores a post also gets put on social media, and you can sponsor those. My mates who were doing a clothing company sponsored Joe Cardle last year. There's McManus sponsored by Warbases.co.uk. Our social media/pr budget is miniscule, but it doesn't have to be expensive. Our season ticket video was a bridie! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get money for it if you can get companies to sign up. To do that you need someone going out and selling to them. I would imagine Dunfermlines social media stuff is done mainly by volunteers? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now he's pretty much a goalhanger who's going to cost you 20 grand a week and argue with the coach. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would at least be a start. Also notice that the leaflet doesn’t include sponsorship opportunities in relation to QOSTV, like sponsoring the highlights package. Or, if that isn’t possible because they aren’t produced regularly, then sponsoring the after match interviews could be. Of course, maybe there is somebody already lined up for this. Also might be an idea to publicise the sponsorship booklet with a link on a news item on the OS when it comes out. Maybe that was done, though. http://www.qosfc.com/docs/QOS Sponsor Booklet 2018-19.pdf 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much spot on, saw him play this year and all he did was shout and bawl at his team mates, wave his arms like a windmill a general seething individual for 90 minutes, typical zombie I suppose lol was decent in his day but as 19QOS19 states you wouldn’t stick a fiver on him one on one with the keeper !! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think that's MIllers problem. He knows he is done at an appreciable level. He'll try and get his money back from Rangers, but he's got a year tops before he's forced by a lack of interest to retire.

I didnt literally mean an extra person employed just to sell online advertising. Not that we have anyone already doing it either, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact he is fighting the fine suggests Rangers are paying him silly money #neverlearn He will be lucky to get a 4 or 5k wage now in Scotland, the fact he has shown interest in Livvy manager role suggests he is willing to go down to similar to what he earned 20yr ago. Never fully rated him, tho he did have a right purple patch at Derby and Scotland. Tho I caught a few live Rangers games and he seemed to be their best player, shows the massive job Gerrard has and the state of Scottish fitba. Thankfully he won't be near us 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doonhamer doon south Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Not signed a player in a wee while. Damn our tiny budget and poor geographical location. Damn it all to hell. Sorry didnt think this had been mentioned enough. Can anyone give any insight onto plans to celebrate the centenary year? I know a book and the shirt is one but is there anything else in the pipeline? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
